xZ AZRAEL Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hey i've just got back into space wolves after about 3 years and i was wondering, can i use all models from the space marine range as long as I convert them to look more wolf like, for example Grey knights, could i use them as, say a rune prist or squad leader as long as i change them up a bit? also honour guards for ultramarines are they up for grabs aswell? Could anyone get back to ASAP please :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The God Emperor Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 LOL! Feel free to take any model, file away the unwolfy bits, wolf it up with pelts and tails with runes and whats not. Bam! You have a fully functioning Space Wolf on your hand. I do happen to have 10 Imperial Guardsmen as my Wolf Scouts. Heavily converted though. As long as you have some power armours bits, you can wolf him up. (No xenos though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Well, within reason, there's nothing stopping you. Personally, though, I think the Ultramarines Honour Guard is just too Chapter-Specific to try and convert to Space Wolves. It's up to you though - give it a try, if you wish. Oh, and, welcome back :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vassakov Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 The God Emperor speaks the truth - any PA model is waiting to be elevated to the ranks of the Wolves! Generally the plastic models are easier to convert and personally I wouldn't use the UM Honour Guard - though if you have a specific plan go for it! On the other hand, I think I've seen a couple of GK's => SW's around here. My Wolves are a huge exercise in kitbashing anyway, so go for it. Post pics of the results!

Captain Malachi Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 You don't even have to wolf up the GKs, just use them as allied grey knights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xZ AZRAEL Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Cheers guys for the fast response, i have a great idea of how to convert honour guards and once they're all painted and stuff i'll post some pics :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Alright then, looking forward to it :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf89 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Pretty much if it's a GW model, and it's an accurate representation (not an eldar model for a marine, but rather a marine model for a marine) then it's no problem. I've seen players use dark angels models for their wolves because they liked the models (ezekiel for a rune priest was the most stunning) and needless to say his army rolled many 1's. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzzyman1981 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 As everyone has said if you do your best to accurately model the...well...model. You don't even always have to use GW stuff unless of course you want to enter a tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then it gets into %'s and people say, "oh I used GW green stuff, I used GW paint, I used GW cardboard from their boxes, etc..." trying to get away with things... you wouldn't believe some stuff I heard.

Grey Mage Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 And remember it doesnt have to be a loyalist marine either.... Ive snagged a few chainswords from Khornate Beserkers, have contemplated taking the back-pack from a Khornelord for my wolf lord, and heck, 13nth company has about half their power armor from dead chaos marines.

TAVAAR Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 If you can make it look wolfy you can use it for conversions... Just take a second thought about converting the GK's though as they make powerful allies to the wolves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max_Dammit Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 The honor guard would be perfect for Wolfblade, if you think of it, they have to be all fancy smancy earth like You just need to get all those U's off :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true, I think Dark Angles can use Sisters of Battle for their marines, :P WG Vrox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos-y bits don't look half bad on Space Wolves, even if they have some pointy arrows. So long as you're not sporting icons of Khorne or whatnot, they look nice. Littlbitz's SW army has a Wolf Guard battle leader on a chaos bike. Of course I also thought that looked awesome, so I had to get one as well, but I noticed that I shaved off more of the chaos-y stuff than he did. Either way it looks good.

xZ AZRAEL Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 well i've got a 13th company, renagade army so i've been usuing alot of chaos stuff and its also good to know that dark angels are a good choice to use, as i like their models aswell. its just a matter know of picking a good base for my wolf lord and get some honour guards for his retinue and i think i'll be set for a pretty decent HQ :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
